About Josette
Josette Prisk is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people struggling with anxiety, trauma, and life stress. She brings 12 years of clinical experience and a calm, straightforward presence to sessions.

Clients often come with panic attacks, worry, or the effects of past abuse. Josette uses clear, practical strategies to reduce overwhelming feelings and to build coping skills that fit daily life.
Background and approach
She also supports people working through low self-esteem, anger, and the stress of major life changes. Her approach blends connection-focused work with skill-based interventions. That means she pays attention to how relationships and attachment shape emotions while teaching concrete tools to manage thoughts and behaviors.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Josette holds LCSW credentials and is licensed in Kentucky and North Carolina. She draws on methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy alongside attachment and emotionally-focused approaches.
Her style is direct but compassionate, aiming to help people feel safer with their emotions and more effective in daily life. People who prefer working remotely can meet her by video, phone, chat, or text messaging. She describes the first steps as simple: complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment to talk about goals and next steps.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional responses. In practice this means talking about connection patterns and learning new ways to relate to feelings and to others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and teaches specific tools to change anxious or unhelpful thinking. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal skills to manage intense reactions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, symptoms, and what feels most helpful. She then blends connection-focused and skills-based methods so the plan fits the person’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people read facial cues and practice conversations in real time. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone needs a longer check-in without being on camera. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, skills coaching, and written reflections that can fit into a busy day.
